This is of course horrifying but what’s also horrifying is that I’ve seen this “make learning FUN” sort of gimmick pushed my entire life. Learning is satisfying but it is rarely “fun”. Learning something profound should be quasi traumatic and wrenching!

If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend; And, as I am an honest Puck, Show is over, off you fuck.

This really is the kind of passion I want to see from politicians opposing this dreadful government. To take just one statistic from this speech: there are now 47,000 more children living in poverty in Aotearoa than there were 3 years ago. #nzpol

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

The government has announced the Head Start programme for local government amalgamation is not going ahead. The government is responsible for a total waste of ratepayers' money, and it's totally unacceptable 🤯

Just a handy grammar tip: The 1960s are not the 1960's or the 60's. They are the 1960s and the '60s.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

Some thoughts on Nicky Hager's "Dirty Work: The Taxpayers' Union and New Zealand's Hard Right" which was launched tonight. These thoughts are informed by a research project we did earlier this year looking at NZTU discourses which involved analysing two years of its media releases and other outputs.

for those outside New Zealand: 2 years ago a veiled far-right astroturf org threatened to sue an investigative journalist for a book he was writing about them. He was not writing a book about them, but this incident meant former staff started leaking to him. He used those leaks to write a book.

I think New Zealand has the most beautiful money — both aesthetically & because each note honors a native bird: Hoiho/Yellow-eyed Penguin ($5) Whio/Blue Duck ($10) Kārearea/NZ Falcon ($20) Kōkako ($50) & Mohua/Yellowhead ($100). Are there any other beautiful currencies you think can compete with NZ?

Colorful $5 $10 $20 $50 and $100 notes with paintings of birds on them sit on a wooden table.

13/x The savings were estimated in the 1850s at millions of dollars a year across world trade, and the round trip from Britain to Australia and New Zealand reportedly fell from about 240 days to about 160. A nation that had never led in oceanography suddenly led the world.
